Help?

"Konan, I brought you some tea!" Puppet called from behind the door. She gently rasped at the door, making sure the tray on her hip didn't fall.

No response.

"Konan?" She checked the door, unlocked. "Weird, Konan always locks the door if she leaves."

Carefully, Puppet opened the door peeking in, she saw no one. With a shrug of her shoulder, she placed the tea down on a table in the center of the room.

Something in her peripheral vision moved and she withdrew a kunai, no one was sneaking up on her. Kunai held tightly in Puppet's hand, she moved towards the target.

The figure lay sprawled out on the ground, and it got up, resting all of it's weight on it's hand. A blue fountain of hair cascading their shoulders, she knew who it was, "Konan...?"

She jumped at the sound of her own name, glancing over her shoulder, a pair of heated eyes met her own. Sweat glistened on her face, as she tried to stand, Puppet knelt down next to her, "Don't try and move."

"I'm fine... just... get me my coat..." A small bead of blood fell from her mouth, and Puppet wiped it away.

"Something's wrong Konan, you're as white as a sheet, and as cold as ice..." Puppet didn't stand to retrieve Konan's Akatsuki coat, she gathered Konan in her arms, and her heartbeat hurt Puppet's chest, pounding so frantically...

Konan coughed, sending more blood from her mouth. The crimson splattered onto Puppet, but she didn't care.

"Pein... somebody... help...!" Puppet cried, Konan fainted in her arms.

Bad Awakening

In Konan's chamber, sunlight peeked through the blinds, caressing every shadow it touched. Aggravated at the arrival of the sun, Konan groaned.

Head heavy, she rose out of bed and looked around the dimly lit room, she hadn't recalled falling asleep. Sleep was a gift Konan barely ever experienced, constantly awake, for sleep left her unprotected, her guard lowered due to a mere physical need, she hated it. So therefore, she rarely slept, if at all, for more than 2 hours.

But it seemed she had slept for hours... days even... she grudgingly lifted the blinds and sunlight bore into her eyes. Instantly getting a headache, Konan stood up and ran her right hip into her night stand.

"I'm a mess..." She said quietly to herself.

Raking a hand down her face, she continued to stumble around the room. "What's wrong with me...?" She braced her hand on her dresser, and she noticed that she was panting. Glancing at her hand, her arm was shaking... her heart beating erratically... "Something's not right..."

Next, she placed on hand on top of the other, to brace herself, and felt a shiver bolt its way from her fingers tips, through her arm, across her shoulders, down her spine, shooting through her legs and ending at her feet. Her knees buckled, and she almost collapsed.

Finally giving up, she fell to her knees, and onto her stomach, her right hand shooting out to brace her fall.

One arm extended, Konan lay helpless on the floor... she tried to build enough chakra to surround herself with her paper, but to no avail. Completely exhausted, sleep over took her eyes... and she relished it.

A dream immediately enveloped her, bringing back memories of her past, with Yahiko and Nagato, almost so real she could touch...

The corners of her lips twitched a bit in the resemblance of a smile, "Yahiko... save Nagato..."

Waking up....

I woke up suddenly in a cold sweat. I had a nightmare again. They were starting to come back and once again I felt powerless. I couldn't remember what the nightmare was about but what ever it was it really had me scared. I looked around and realized I was in the infirmiry. I looked at my arm and saw it had been taken care of and so had my other injuries. I sat thinking, trying to remember who had helped me but came up empty. I couldn't remember anything after I hit the floor. I sighed. "Well who ever it was, thanks." I whispered to myself. I looked around once more and heard Deidara. I hopped out of be quickly and then found my head spinning. I held onto the bed for a second then made my way to where Deidara was. I frowned at the sight of so many IV's. "Deidara! Are you okay?" I asked stupidly. He smiled weakly. "I'm Okay, un." I wanted so badly to let him have it for making me and the others worry but I decided not too. "I'm glad they found you alive. What happened." I motioned to his hip. "Broken hip, un. I was in surgery for five hours according to Kakuzu. He told me you, Deena and Inu were worried about me, I'm sorry for making you all worry so much, un." I smiled. "It's okay Deidara, you're forgiven just don't do it again because next time, I'll kill you." I said joking but a bit serious. "Are you hungry or anything," asked, "and does anyone know you're up?" He shook his head. "I don't think anyone knows other then you but I have a feeling Kakuzu is going to let Tobi know, un." He said with a sad look on his face. I laughed. "Serves you right!" He sighed. "I'm just kidding." I said laughing again. "Deidara-sama!" Tobi yelled. I sat down next to the bed and waited for Tobi to come in. It was sure to be better then a movie.....

I'm back!

Amber finally back from her trip walked into the Hideout, she found that Deidara was hurt, and other things of that sort. She unpacked her things, getting the little gift she bought for Tobi, and other recuits. 'I hope the three are okay', Amber was hoping not to find them torn to peices when she found them. Grabbing the small boxes she went looking for the other recuits.

As she found them she gave them their gifts, then to give Tobi his. If only he would stop worrying about Deidara. She didn't think she would have the energy so she just went back to the hall and put it in the doorway. Then the tired kitten stumbled into her room and fell asleep.

(Yo! Happy to be back!! My time in the REAL world was great, missed talkin to you guys. Well I got to have fun for my B-day! If ya wanna know what happened I'm going to post it in 'Cococomy')
